Designed for small wrists
And we do mean small
No obvious way to silence notification
Limited number of apps
Poor S-Health fitness app syncing

Camera is an unnecessary extra for the $100 it costs over the Gear 2 Neo
Unattractive

Abstract: Samsung Malaysia recently dropped off the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatch for us to check out and we started it out with an unboxing video which you can see below. As it is, the Gear 2 remains one of the most feature filled smartwatches currently in the ...
The good news is that Samsung has addressed some of the major issues that plagued the original GALAXY Gear. Battery life is much improved, and it comes with enough native apps to make it a genuinely useful device, even without much of an app ecosystem. Th...

The Samsung Gear 2 is a major improvement from the Galaxy Gear, its great hardware and reliable software makes it one of the best smartwatch to invest on. We really wish that the company could one day turn the support switch ON for other Android devices a...
Samsung clearly addressed some of the criticisms and feedback it recieved after the Galaxy Gear launched last fall. The new watch features a slightly tweaked design that makes it a bit more attractive than the last.However, the Gear 2 still feels like a s...
Abstract: 2014 is a year of wearables and smartwatches, these devices are the next big internet of things to change our lives.The GALAXY Gear from Samsung created quite a buzz last year, though it has terrible performance and battery life, it sets a new standard on...
Solid metal build with customisable straps, Bright, sharp colour display, Excellent battery life, On-board music playback, Notifications handled well
Auto-screen on feature needs tweaking, Hardly any apps, Pricey for a smartwatch, Only works with select Samsung devices
The Gear 2 is an improvement over its predecessor in every single way. It's better built, faster, more useful, and has surprisingly good battery life to boot, which is why it's earned an extra star.But it's not without its faults. The auto screen-on sensi...
Abstract: While MWC 2014 may not officially kick off until tomorrow, Samsung has jumped the gun by unveiling its new second-generation smartwatches, the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo (Samsung doesn't use the GALAXY branding for its non-Android devices - more on that later)...
